LCD/TFT Tax...

[ZXSpectrum]

Just heard from one of our supplers that all LCD/TFT monitors over 20" with DVI Connection are now subject to a European tax of 14% as they can be used as a television screen... Dont know what sort of impact this will have.. Well i presume all monitors will be 14% more expensive...

Its stupid really... Unless it has a tuner or HDTV connections built in it cant natively support TV...

Just more ways to make us pay more... Bl00dy Europe...

Good time to order a Belinea 10 20 35w as i am sure they will be going up very soon...

Most Monitors are manufactured outside the EU...
